You span your web around my life
Around my soul
Until it consumed my world
Your web so sticky
shackling me within its sinews
While you sat in the corner
Just staring at me
Sometimes as if you were
Pondering my thoughts
As you tilt your head to one side
And then the other
Like some crazed lover
Who had been betrayed
And yet you said nothing
Until your hunger
Took over
